Reviews
Well, I just discovered a whole new boy-friendly series courtesy of my 8 year-old son, Dave, who brought home two new Zinc Alloy books from his school's library. He raved and cooed about them, informing me that this was a new series being read 'by all the guys'. (And yes, some of the guys are girls.) Since the books are short -- containing under 800 words -- I was able to read both of them in a few minutes, and I pretty much liked what I found. [Note though that the reviewer for the School Library Journal thought they were 'bland', and that may well be for us adults, but sometimes we just need to listen to the kids, and if these books help children to love to read, well then, I'm going to pass on the good word.] In general the books seem to offer low levels of 'exciting adventure' and some fantasies of empowerment that I think youngsters can identify with. And unlike the popular Captain Underpants series, the Zinc Alloy series is written at a simpler level-- which I like since there isn't nearly enough books out there for book-lovin' little guys. Both books I read were in the low 2's. There is, however, one book in the series though that is at the 2.4 level. I think they'd be great for all those 5 year-olds that read above level. And even for guys like my Dave, who can read at a much higher level, but who still enjoys some fun and silliness. [Note, Captain Underpants is at the AR 4 level.] Revealed!

He builds himself a robotic suit that gives him numerous superpowers. The super robot stops a runaway train and scares the bullies into leaving his nerdy alter-ego alone. Cartoon style drawings enhance the text and help move the action along. Special features include a glossary, a history of comics, three discussion questions, three writing prompts, and the publisher's web site with graphic adventures, a web history of comics' timeline with a text that will be beyond the reading level of students who read this title, and a NASA robotics web site. This book will appeal especially to boys, and can be used as high interest low vocabulary material with students who have reading problems. I tried this with a small group of seventh grade boys who had various reading problems and received a favorable response from the group. Recommended., This action-packed comic-reader will entice even the most reluctant reader. Any child who's ever been the victim of a "wet willy" or a "nuggy" will cheer out loud.
